Serena

At first glance, Serena appears to be in motion-it is a leaf blown by a gentle breeze, dancing through a current of wind. Inspired by the simple beauty of nature, this piece features a dynamic reflector that can be directed to obtain an intense, precisely reflected light. The structure of the lighting body reduces the LED source's visual impact, providing the user with a level of comfort that belies the design's superior technology. The Serena is an adjustable lamp that provides indirect and reflected light. It features an extruded aluminum heat sink, photo engraved black PC cut-off, and a photoengraved optical PMMA diffuser. The reflector is sheared and folded pre-anodized aluminum. The power cord measures 78.7 in (200cm) and a dimmer switch provides on/off functions and 10-100% light adjustment. The plug-in power supply includes interchangeable plugs. Inspiration behind the design: Designer Patricia Urqiuola drew inspiration for Serena from the natural world-leaves in different shapes and colors became its playful diffusers, reflecting light or allowing it through. "It is a light that's domestic in nature," she says, "It wants to fit in."
